However, at about 11:45 p.m. on Saturday, a second bigger slide occurred, with more mud, trees and debris flowing on to the highway. This mudslide is about 20 to 30 metres in size, with water flowing over the highway.

Lisanne Bowness from the Ministry of Transportation says this is due to a creek that has diverted from its normal channel.

Fortunately no vehicles were caught in the slide but the highway had to completely close again due to safety reasons. One lane was re-opened around 11 a.m. PDT Monday.

Ministry operations and geotechnical staff are on site, along with equipment and are working to stabilize the area.
